It comes just a day after she attended her first group Strictly rehearsal, suggesting she is feeling more confident in her moves after previously revealing she was struggling to sleep with anxiety over it.

Wearing a pretty red floral dress, Ruth gave Eamonn a twirl after he complimented her on her frock.

As the Strictly theme song played Ruth spun around but she might need a little more practise, as she ended up getting rather dizzy.

Later in the show both Eamonn and Ruth showed off their skills ahead of meeting 80s duo Pepsi and Shirlie.

They stopped rather abruptly though when the producers start laughing in their ear pieces.

Yesterday Eamonn cheekily said Ruth had no chance of winning Strictly.

Eamonn replied: “You could get the sympathy vote, 66/1, that’s the worst of anybody taking part.”

But switching tact, he added: “That’s from Ladbrokes and they’re talking tosh, some of these odds are laughable, laughable!”

He then revealed that Ruth’s younger co-stars such as Alexandra Burke, Mollie King and Gemma Atkinson were the current favourites.

Eamonn then had the studio in stitches as he replied: “Darling you’re up there doing it for the oldies, all the women who are seen to be on the scrapheap, women for whom there is no more use for in life, women who wake up in the morning and think ‘what is the point of going on?’

“You’re there for those women, hot routines instead of hot flushes from here on in.”
